In the early hours of May 27, 2014, Meriam Ibrahim gave birth while chained to a wall in a prison in Sudan. The Sudanese court recently confirmed she will be executed now that her child has been born. How civilized of the Muslim court to wait until the child is born.

The 27 year old’s crime was to marry a Christian. She was always raised a Christian, but her father (who left before she was born) was a Muslim. And that makes her a Muslim in the eyes of the court, and apostate. The Koran says apostates should be killed so that’s the end of that.

With Meriam in prison is her 20 month old son.

There is no difference at all between the Islam of Sudan, and Islam elsewhere. The only difference is the percentage of the population that is Muslim. When that percentage reaches a certain level, Sharia Law kicks into play, and Sharia Law is the law.

Let those millions of Muslims come forward who do not believe that Meriam Ibrahim and other ‘apostates’ should be executed for choosing another religion.

The treatment of Ibrahim by the Sudanese authorities was internationally condemned in early May, when the then heavily pregnant woman was sentenced to death for refusing to renounce Christianity, and reportedly imprisoned with her 20-month-old son.

Pressure on Sudan to release Ibrahim increased last week, when the 27-year-old was forced to give birth to her daughter while restrained by shackles.

On Saturday, Sudanese officials announced that Ibrahim would be released “in a few days’ time”, the BBC reported Abdullahi Alazreg, an under-secretary at the foreign ministry, as having said.

But a day later her lawyer Elshareef Ali Mohammed warned: “Nothing has changed.”

“Meriam is still in prison. This was a political statement made under pressure from an international campaign,” he told the Guardian.

… Although Ibrahim Ibrahim was raised as a Christian by her mother, as Sudanese law states a child must follow their father’s religion, she was convicted of apostasy and adultery for marrying a non-Muslim.

The court in the Sudanese capital of Khartoum annulled her three-year-long marriage, and ordered that Ibrahim be given 100 lashes and hanged…

Stone age people with a stone age mentality. The appalling aspect of this situation is that the Muslims from leaders to grass roots all around the world consciously remain silent. In remaining silent – by choice – they condone this barbarity. In so acting they do not deserve a place in today’s modern world. There is demonstrably no love allowed in this belief system. God must be well ashamed that such acts are done in His name.

What the phuck happened to you, BFP? What was the tipping point? I used to admire you immensely, with all prudent reservations, but by this point you might as well retitle the blog “Let’s Get Some Hate Going for the Barbarian Ragheads Dot Com”. It’s deeply unedifying. I feel like I need a shower after reading the comments to some of your recent posts.

For shame.

For the record: I am not a Muslim. What happened to these two women is barbaric. I am a member of no organized religion though my mother, may she rest in peace, was long ago obliged in her youth to take part in one of those package holidays in Europe arranged by that nice Mr. Heydrich.

Deliberately stoking hate is NEVER a good idea. And make no mistake, stoking hatred is exactly what you’re doing.

For shame.

robert ross: I thanked you for your thanks on another thread on this blog. Sid James would have been a shite columnist in a UK or US newspaper, and it’s odd that the spirit of Sid seems to have found a weekly niche in a Bajan paper.

May our gods go with us, and peace to all. May we abjure hate, and love kindness.

Lord help us….and they are taught to multiply,multiply.multiply,multiply…………it’s like the Orcs..and other evil creations in Lord of the Rings…..Maybe Tolkein tapped into the future..I hope there is a Gandalf and Frodo to save us ..out there………..

This is rather large when everytime you look around another woman has been brutally murdered in Barbados. Domestic violence, rape and child abuse are rife across all segments of Barbadian society and the police and legal system has sat by and done nothing. Yet BFP wants to throw stones. When Barbados deals with the high-level police, politians, judges and prominent businessmen who rape children, beat their women and sodomise little boys, BFP can talk about other countries. Deal with your own problems first. Remember what the Christian faith teaches about he who liveth in a glass house.

You seem to have missed the fact that all of this abuse and violence against women and apostates is dictated in the Holy Koran. These Muslims are only obeying their Holy Book. It is our business to know what values are being instilled in Bajan Muslim children. Are they compatible with our society? Is beating your wife or killing persons who leave their religion acceptable in Barbados? If not, why do we allow the koran and its values to be taught to Bajan children?

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. (New International Version-1984)
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the assurance of thing hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. (New American Standard Bible)
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (King James Version)

I have faith that Jesus is the Son of God. I have faith that He performed miracles. I have faith that Jesus was resurrected from the grave by God the Father. I believe this because I have faith that the historical record of the Bible is accurate, yet I cannot prove it. There are no living eyewitness to confirm that Jesus was who He said He was or that He was resurrected from the dead, I accept it by faith, I believe it, however, I cannot prove it.

Atheists do not believe the fact that Jesus was the Son of God or that there even is a God, they cannot prove their unbelief, they accept it by faith.

Romans 8:24 For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope, for who hopes for what he already sees?(NASB)

We have hope we have been saved, but we hope because of faith. We cannot prove we have been saved. We believe that we have been save because we believe, by faith, that the Bible is accurate and trustworthy.

John 20:27-31 Then He said to Thomas, “Reach here with you finger, see My hands and put them into my side; and do not be unbelieving, but believing.” 28 Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!’29 Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed.” …… (NASB)

Thomas had proof that Jesus was resurrected from the grave. Men today cannot prove the resurrection of Jesus from the grave, they accept it by faith.

There were more than five hundred brethren, including the apostles, who saw Jesus alive after He faced death on the cross. They were eyewitnesses, they had proof of the resurrection of Jesus. (1 Corinthians 15:3-7)

Those of us alive today have to have FAITH that the Biblical accounts of Jesus and His resurrection are true. We cannot prove they are true. NO ONE IS ALIVE TODAY WHO WAS AN EYEWITNESS TO THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS.

FAITH IS BELIEVING SOMETHING YOU CANNOT PROVE!

NOTE: Atheists believe, by faith, that God does not exists, but they cannot prove it.
